You mean there is another way? :-)
I have always used this method with Ada development.
That is one of the things I love about Ada - you can let the compiler do so
much of the work for you. I have often had people new to Ada come to me
asking "can I do this or that in Ada?" - I usually tell them to try it and see
- let
the compiler tell you if it won't work; you will learn something from the
exercise
in either case.  It is hard to imagine using a language and compiler without
this level of
checking again.
